Giraffe

__**Giraffes Adaptions: **__ 
 * The Giraffe's neck allows the giraffe reach vegetation (leaves) that other animals can't reach.
 * The giraffe has extremely elastic blood vessels and has special valves in the veins of their neck to control the blood rush to its head. without this adaption the animal would lose **consciousness because of blood pressure.**
 * Giraffes will drink water if available but they can go on days without it.
